Dilworth IP is an intellectual property law firm based in New Haven, Connecticut, founded in 2007 by Michael P. Dilworth, former Chief IP Counsel at Chemtura Corporation. Drawing on his experience leading intellectual property strategy inside a large technology company, Michael established the firm with a clear understanding of the challenges innovators face when developing and protecting new technologies.
Before founding the firm, Michael built and led the in-house IP function for a publicly traded industrial company with more than $1.5 billion in annual revenue, overseeing a global patent and trademark portfolio and helping integrate intellectual property strategy into broader business decisions. That experience shaped the firm’s approach: treating intellectual property as a strategic asset that supports real-world product development and commercialization.
Today, Dilworth IP works with inventors, entrepreneurs, and companies to help protect their innovations through carefully prepared patent applications, agreements, and practical intellectual property guidance. Clients rely on the firm to respond quickly to questions and provide support as new technologies move from concept to commercialization.
